Hi, I'm Kelly. I'm 20 years old and from New York. Being in a relationship with someone who literally eats everything and has a family that is exactly the same, seeing these entries is nice knowing I'm not alone. I've been a picky eater since I can remember. I eat almost no dairy. I don't eat any type of cheese other than mozzarella and only if it's in a Mozerrella stick, lasagna, or pizza. If there's too much cheese on the pasta, I remove it. I used to eat pizza without the cheese also. When I have the mozzarella sticks, I can only eat them with ketchup(maybe to lessen the taste of the cheese?) I don't drink milk and I don't eat yogurt and I can only have butter if it's fully melted. I don't like most veggies although I do love broccoli peas and corn. Carrots can only be eaten raw and baby styled and broccoli can only be eaten steamed for me. I literally don't eat any fish or seafood any any kind. No calms sushi, salmon, crab, etc. If if comes from the ocean I won't eat it. I eat a lot of chicken, but I have to basically drown in it ketchup in order to eat it, even if it's seasoned! Recently I've been getting grossed out by chicken from seeing fat or a vein and occasionally gag and cannot finish it if I think about it. With beef, I again drown in ketchup to minimize taste, and I usually pick the steak apart so that I'm not getting any fat in the piece. I do enjoy hot dogs with, you guessed it, ketchup. I can't eat anything spicy (ketchup is spicy to me to put my sensitivity to spice in perspective). I do enjoy most fruits except I really can't stand pears or mangos. My diet basically consists of what my 5 year old cousin eats. I hate going to dinner parties for holidays at other people's housrs because I can mostly only eat the chips, without dip, and maybe a small side dish. It doesn't help that every time I eat some type of weird food combination, like the ones I've mentioned, or say that I don't like cheese, apple pie, or any other generic American food, my boy friends family calls me a communist. I've been trying very hard to over come my dislike for dairy. When my boyfriend makes his homemade nachos with cheddar cheese, I'll try a very little bit but usually end up gagging and having to drink a full glass of water to wash it down. Hopefully, with my persistence, Ill get better. Being a picky eater sucks.
